This schedule is tentative and most likely will be revised. Among other things, the assignments are not yet cast in stone. More assignments may be added.
You may also be interested in the Spring 2010 syllabus, which has old copies of scribe notes. The lecture topics may not line up exactly even if the titles are the same.
